Phil Adamo presents K*ll Ahab in conversation with Robert Cowgill
About this Event
It’s Moby Dick from the whale’s point of view.Near the end of his life, beached on the New England coast, the White Whale finally sets the record straight, spinning a tale of high adventure and rich emotion, of love and loss, of loathing and revenge. Propelling his story is Ahab, the mad captain fixated on the “monster” who took his leg. But Ahab’s obsession is not one-sided. Whales, too, have long memories.Fiction’s most famous fish is not who we thought.“Call me…anything,” he says. “But do not call me Moby Dick.”
Phil Adamo is a former circus clown turned history professor turned novelist. Author of The Medievalist, Aesop’s College, and Memoir of a Pilgrimage for Eight, he divides his time between a hobby ranch in the Texas hill country and a lakeside cabin in Wisconsin.
Augsburg University Emeritus Professor Robert Cowgill taught American Literature and film for 35 years. If there is a great American novel, he believes Moby Dick is it.
